you can change that in about:config, i think privacy.resistFingerprinting is the culprit

That sounds like it's all or nothing. I realize that any item turned off makes you more unique but not every site is making fingerprints using every feature.

I want to resist fingerprinting without decreasing the functionality of my phone. Only change the refresh rate.

I agree that's a problem, but refresh rate is one of the fingerprinting methods, and resistFingerprinting doesn't offer finetuning options (except canvas permissions?), which is what prevents me from using it

All true. But I would prefer fine tuning and taking my chances with refresh rate. Still, I'm back on Mull for now.
